Echocardiogram news - no reply necessary

[ironhat]

Since I was blessed by your well-wishes in my previous thread I posted the 'no reply necessary' in the title. I'm not trying to be an attention junkie. I just wanted to share this with you all. I received a call from the cardiologist's office with the results of the echocardiogram. The report said that the ejection fraction (initially 5-10%, dismissed from hospital at about 15%) is now 40 - 45% AND the heart muscle is remodeling. That just means that the enlarged portion (the left ventricle) is reducing back to normal size. In every other muscle an enlargement due to exercise is a good thing. With the heart the thickening of the muscle also causes the ventricle to become smaller as the space is taken up by muscle tissue thickening. So, all is well, God is good and I have a great doctor.
That is all - but it's enough for me! Another thanks to you all!
